PiCorePlayer seems to be just a player - i.e. you need to run an LMS (server) somewhere. btw. You can use Volumio (and Moode) to do the same thing - it's just an add-on.

It's as much a work in progress as anything ever done with Squeezebox - that is work never stops because things are being refined, and on occasion completely rewritten because service providers change their delivery protocols.
It happens to be a very slick and stable bit of programming.

Hi John,
Yes, exactly like that. You need to install "extra file systems" - there is a button on the LMS tab in PCP and it takes 30 secs or so. You can also install Samba (you need to enable beta version settings) so you can access the drive across your network. The SSD is silent, draws far less power than a hard drive and you are also not pulling music across a network from a NAS. I use the Squeeze Control app on Android to control the PCP.
Cheers

Hi,
Can you say a bit more about your set up?
Which SSD you are using?
How many albums will it hold?
File types - FLAC, WAV, IFF etc
Do you experience any drop outs on playback?
Also does the SSD need it’s own psu as I think the pi is unable to power it from its usb. I have a pi2B
What DAC are you using?
I have built a Vortexbox which uses LMS but I think the pi with SSD negates a lot of the issues with a network.
Sorry for so many questions
Thanks
Lee
